Obama Referat

Barack Obama’s health care plan follows the Democratic template—an emphasis on dramatically and quickly increasing the number of people who have health insurance by spending significant money upfront. The Obama campaign estimates his health care reform plan will cost between $50 and $65 billion a year when fully phased in. He assumes that it will be paid from savings in the system and from discontinuing the Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 per year. By contrast, the McCain Republican strategy for health care reform would first emphasize market reforms aimed at making the system affordable so more Americans can be part of the system and he claims that there would be no additional upfront cost. Obama breaks his health care reform plan down into three parts saying that it builds “upon the strengths of the U.S. health care system.” The three parts are:

...﻿Focusing mainly on Barack Obama’s candidacy speech of February 10th 2007,though using further examples if you wish, explore the methods that Obama uses to create rapport with his audience to suit his purposes.
Barack Obama’s candidacy speech is an important moment in the U.S politics because it is the starting point where he announces his candidacy. Obama’s speech took place in Springfield Illinois, in 2007, where former president Abraham Lincoln made his famous ‘House Divided’ speech. The main purpose of this speech was to announce his candidacy for the 2008 Presidential Elections; his other purposes was to portray himself as a man of integrity and convince his audience that he is a patriot. He does this by using different types of speech making methods such as, Prosody, Imagery and Rhetorical devices. Barack Obama then gets interviewed on the David Letterman show that opens him up to a wider range of people.
Obama opens his speech by directly addressing the audience in front of him, ‘Hello Chicago!’ This creates an instant link with them because he is speaking directly to the audience and is a sort of thing a rock group might say and therefore builds up a sense of occasion. He then goes on to thanking his audience, ‘Let me begin by saying thanks to all of you who’ve travelled, from far and wide, to brave the cold today.’ He uses a polite imperative by saying ‘Let me begin,’ this shows respect and creates rapport because...

...controversial is the implementation of the Affordability Care Act, popularly known as Obama Care” (see, question). This act was officially signed into law on March 23rd 2010. “The Affordable Care Act is the result of a joint effort between all sides of the isle, health insurance companies, and law makers and has been in the works for decades. The law itself is based on ‘Romney Care’, The Massachusetts health care insurance reform law, St. 2006, c.58” (www.obamacarefacts.com). Obama Care is useful to the citizens of the United States of America. It regulates the health insurance industry, and helps to increase the quality, affordability, and availability of health insurance. It was projected that Obama Care will enable thirty million uninsured individuals to be able to obtain health insurance. Given the facts I believe that Obama Care is ingenious, thus the thesis of my essay is that Obama Care promotes equality, enables freedom, and creates solidarity in the United States of America. This legislation is needed to make the necessary changes in the United States of America.
In order to understand the assertion that Obama Care enables freedom, promotes equality, and creates solidarity, the purpose of the Affordable Care Act has to be understood, the past healthcare system of the United States of America has to be explained, and the scepticism on the Affordable Care Act has to be...

...patient, should decide the value of health-care services. Individual patients, regardless of income level, are capable of making appropriate decisions about their own health care, given the proper incentives.
Giving patients ownership of their health-care resources and choice over how those resources will be spent will also increase the demand for transparency about the cost and quality of services.
Rather than attempting to control the behavior of payers and providers through mandates and price controls, the president should realign incentives by giving patients the financial support they need and allowing them to choose from a variety of insurance coverage options, according to their needs. This is the same system available to President Obama and all other federal employees.
Ultimately, the goal of real reform should be for the government to stop trying to design and operate public health-insurance plans and instead focus on providing disadvantaged individuals with the necessary funds to buy into the same system that everyone else uses.

2)The Federal government will force the 18 million of the uninsured to go under Medicaid, while others must accept another government program. Despite this, millions will still remain uninsured.

...Universal Health Care is defined as the belief that all citizens should have access to affordable, high-quality medical care (Anderson, 2013). Currently there are 46 million that do not have health coverage in the United states and this would drastically increase to 72 million if a health reform was not passed (The Economic Case for Health Care Reform, 2012)Why the United States is the last to adopt this government mandated insurance coverage, is possibly one of the most widely asked question around the nation. This, however; is all in the process of changing and will be completed by 2014 with the passing and implantation of Obama-care. There are three systems or levels of coverage under Universal Health Care; Single Payer, Two-Tier, and Insurance Mandate. Could one of these be beneficial to the United States and what is in store for the United States as we moved toward the change?
The Single Payer Tier of the Universal Health care program is paid for by the government and pays all coverage except for the copays acquired at the appointment and for prescriptions (Anderson, 2013). Single Payer as the name suggest, is funded by one public agency and from a single fund. When medical fees are accumulated, all services are paid for by a single government source. It does not specify the type of delivery, or who the doctors can or will work for. Single-payer systems create contracts for healthcare services from private organizations or can own and employ the...

Instead, it was the downfall” CITATION Joh13 \l 1033 (Johnson, 2013). Other reasons were influences of the media. Even though the media is there to help society understand the proposal they were more interested in discussing the political conflicts, and discussing the complex issues of the reform.” Finally, no debate can succeed without an attentive, interested public, yet Americans seem increasingly disinterested in politics and distrustful of what they hear from politicians and public figures” CITATION Der98 \l 1033 (Bok, 1998).
The provisions of the PPACA signed by President Obama on March 23, 2010 included the Patients’ Bill of Rights which protected consumers from the worst abuse of insurance companies, Children under the age of 19 could not be denied insurance coverage because of preexisting conditions. Other laws that were put in place by PPACA in 2010 were “ prohibiting insurance companies from rescinding coverage, eliminating lifetime limits on insurance coverage, regulating annual limits on insurance coverage, appealing insurance company decisions, and young adults are able to stay on their parents health insurance until the age of 26” CITATION USD01 \l 1033 (U.S Department of health and Human Services, 2001).

Obama’s speech – English A Essay
In this assignment I would like to analyse and comment on Barack Obama’s speech “Back To School Event”, a speech delivered at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia in 2009. My main focus through my essay will be the way President Barack Obama addresses the audience and the values he advocates. I will also talk about the composition in the speech.
At the end of my essay I will make a conclusion that will sum up my main points, which I have realized during my analysis.
President Barack Obama held a speech at Wakefield High School, in which he told the students the importance of education, not only for their own responsibility, but the importance for the whole nation. He kept talking about this responsibility in the speech, one of the things he said was, that he had already been giving a lot of speeches about the teachers’ responsibility to inspire the students, and pushing them to learn, and the parents’ responsibility for making sure they stay on track, and get their homework done and so on. Barack Obama tells the students that the government, their parents and teachers can’t fulfil their responsibility. “But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfil your responsibilities”. This speech was broadcasted nationally to every student in all ages, in order...

...to begin withdrawal in July 2011 was firm. “I have to say that,” Mr. Obama replied. “I can’t let this be a war without end, and I can’t lose the whole Democratic Party.” Once again we have the supposed Commander and Chief showing that politics and keeping his base happy are more important than winning the war.
Showing once again how idiotic it is to compare Obama to the likes of FDR or Lincoln.
You can bet that FDR did not say “I don’t want to lose my democratic allies….so you can only have a few troops for Normandy and you have to be out by the end of the week.”
You can bet Lincoln did not say “Forget heading to Atlanta…the war is unpopular so I need an exit strategy.”
How corrupt is it to send our men and women to the front lines to fight for a mission that Obama laid out,then turn around back home and push for just the opposite behind the scenes.
This is straight up using our Soldiers as pawns to provide political cover for the Obama administration…..an administration that wants to surrender but does not have the guts or political backbone to do it.
